History
editThe club was established in 1981 as the Foreign Correspondents Club of Beijing.[4]
In January 2019, the FCCC published a report titled “Under Watch: Reporting in China’s Surveillance State” that outlined a significant crackdown on reporting, particularly in Xinjiang.[5]
In January 2022, the FCCC published a report outlining how foreign journalists in China were subject to rising intimidation by the Chinese government.[6][2][7]
In February 2022, the FCCC condemned treatment of foreign journalists covering the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[8] These included government interference with interviews and online attacks, along with physical altercations against journalists by security.[9]
